Brighten your life with our 5 favourite vitamin C products!
When it comes to skincare, there are few ingredients as widely used and enjoyed as vitamin C. Beloved by skinfluencers, cosmetic scientists and beauty brands alike, April 4th was declared “National Vitamin C Day” back in 2019, in celebration of this overachieving active!
A true hero ingredient, vitamin C produces a whole host of visible benefits to the skin and is mainly used for brightening and improving tone. Scientific studies show that vitamin C helps to protect against sun damage, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and defend skin cells against free radicals.
Also known as ascorbic acid, the dependability and multiple benefits of vitamin C make it a mainstay of cosmetic science. From cleansers to creams, budget to luxury, it can be difficult to spot the true superstars.
